My Sister N Law Sandra shared a recipe with me for Oatmeal Cookies on a recent visit to Arkansas. I wanted to make the recipe Diabetic Friendly and this is what I came up with. My housekeeper highly approved of this recipe, and called it moist & Chewy right from her first bite, hence the name. I wanted them to taste good, and not really be able to tell that they were made with the splenda. I loved the outcome and the great tasting results, especially with the Mexican Vanilla I had never used before. A gift from my great friend in Texas. I also added extra fiber with the use of Coconut flour.

    Notes: This was the first time I used the Mexican Vanilla, I like it, and it is just my opinion, but I do not think it is as strong as the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. It seems a bit more potent than the Mexican Variety. But it is still good in quality. I beleive the Sugar Free Apple sauce and Pudding mix aided in making these cookies so moist. I can't wait for my husband to get home and try them. I love the extra crunch added by the nuts. I really beleive you will REALLY LOVE THESE.I added the addition of coconut, applesauce,& Instant pudding mix as well as the coconut flour to add extra fiber & moisture to this recipe that the original did not have.
